The statement:
Made the instanceFCQN an instance variable instead of a class
static in Category.java. In related move, the Category constructor
now takes an additional argument setting the instanceFCQN. This
makes life less miserable for Category subclasses. [*]
seems incorrect, as I am looking at Category and dont see this change. I
do see that instanceFQCN is changed to FQCN.
My download is jakarta-log4j-1.1b1, which was from
http://jakarta.apache.org/log4j/docs/download.html
Also, I downloaded the zip version, not the tar version.
